Itinerary highlights

• Amsterdam (overnight onboard)... settle into your brand-new cabin and enjoy the Dutch capital. Take advantage of the long summer evenings to do some exploring, then enjoy a guided glass-top boat ride the next day. 
• Cologne and Augustusburg Palace... cruise by the cathedral spires into the heart of the old city. Disembark and take a short drive to Brühl for your Insider Experience—a tour of Augustusburg Palace. Then, head back to Cologne for some free time.
• Cochem... continue along one of the prettiest stretches of the Moselle. Explore the half-timbered streets of Medieval Cochem with a guide, then head to the fairytale-esque Cochem Castle.

• Strasbourg... enjoy a guided tour of the Old Town, including the imposing cathedral. Then enjoy tasting some local French cheese and sweets.
• Breisach... this is the gateway to the Black Forest region. Take a coach ride through the dense pine forests to Triberg, a quaint village famous for its cuckoo clocks and waterfalls.
• Basel... after breakfast, say goodbye to your fellow passengers and head straight to the airport.
